| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | This year has continued to be somewhat unpredictable. However, we have become far more resilient and better practised at rising to the occasion. Although there have been some changes to our staff team, I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to the staff team. Their continuing commitment, enthusiasm and care make our preschool a fantastic place and they continued to provide outstanding, nurturing care to the children that attend preschool. The staff team have adapted and worked together to ensure that the children continue to enjoy their time at preschool despite all the new measures that come with being COVID secure. We can’t under estimate the challenges the staff team have faced. I would also like to thank the committee for all their work over the last year. I appreciate that everyone is busy and is giving their time alongside their work and family commitments. Thank you. We were re-inspected by Ofsted in June this year. The inspector found that children have formed strong bonds and attachments with staff and arrive with eagerness and enthusiasm. The preschool offers a welcoming secure and safe environment. Children’s behaviour is very good and that children are highly competent and will be ready for school by ensuring that key skill support the children’s future. We are very proud of these findings and of the staff who did very well during the inspection. We were extremely pleased to be award a “good” rating with strong feedback back for future improvements. Although the pandemic continues to curtailed preschool’s fundraising ability we have been creative and successful in our fundraisingandgrant applications that have |
supported the continued development of the preschool. As confidence has returned our numbers have increased and the therefore we have been able to recoup our previous losses.
